I was very fortunate that both of my parents voluntarily relinquished their drivers licenses before I felt the need to intervene.

It's great they stopped driving when appropriate, however you need to be careful you don't surrender a vital piece of picture identification. Especially if they no longer have a passport.

Such identification can be vital as a person moves through the system.

Agreed - my MIL was born in Singapore, naturalised in Australia in the mid 1960's and on the age pension for over 25 years, She had no valid passport or drivers license when we were trying to get a Nursing Home for her. A lot of hassle to get her 'officially identified,

One might hope that a current MyGov ID would be sufficient ?
